An Elegy for Orchestra, includes score and parts. The Anasazi were Native Americans who built stone dwellings in the canyons and cliffs of the Colorado plateau and then vanished without reason. No one knows how or why. Henry's piece evokes the spirit of those ancient peoples, the wonder of their existence and the mystery of their passing in a stark yet beautiful minimalistic work that paints with the colors and majestic loneliness of the Southwest. This is a simple but effective orchestral piece suitable for young as well as experienced players.
